Rebecca,
I'm with you. No need to raise questions with the labels. My approach
to labels is simply maintain consistency across them. you can use all
your labels together to suggest your categorization/taxonomy,
approach, etc. So if nouns, use nouns, if verbs, verbs, phrases, then
phrases. People can get what it is you're doing pretty quickly -- just
be consistent. (Mix things up in sidebars or w/ supplemental nav)

A current issue is using questions as navigation labels e.g. How are
cars made?. I think that this adds unnecessary complexity, and feels
awkward. I would rather a label like 'Making cars' or 'How cars
are made'.
Does anyone have any experience or research indicating whether
questions are suitable or not in navigational labels?
